Ok, so I'm running an intranet...

I have links which point to UNC paths...

if I type these paths into my mozilla address bar, it's fine... it converts them to
file://///host/folder/

however, if I setup an
<a href=&quot;file://///host/folder/&quot;>click</a>

or

<a href=&quot;\\host\folder\&quot;>click</a>

it doesn't work the first results in absolutely nothing happening, the second results in the webserver being added to the front of the path so I get something like

which obviouslly doesn't resolve

Any advice? It's working fine in IE 6, but for once Mozilla is being the sticky widget.
